***PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE*** Asia Argento has been seen for the first time since it was claimed she sexually abused a 17-year-old former child actor who once played her son. The Italian actress and director, who was a pillar of the #MeToo movement that brought Harvey Weinstein to his knees, was seen leaving her home in Rome and getting into a Range Rover driven by well-known director Giovanni Veronesi. The Italian, who directed Argento as an actress in 1997 and supported her when she denounced Weinstein, were later seen walking into a private house. The car was parked outside the house all night. The following morning Veronesi drove Argento back to her home. Veronesi is in a long-term relationship with actress Valeria Solarino, but it's not know whether she was at the house. Argento’s own sex scandal, in which it emerged that she and her ex-partner Anthony Bourdain paid off actor Jimmy Bennett to keep him quiet about an alleged sexual assault in 2013 when he was still a minor, led to claims of gross hypocrisy. A photograph of the couple in bed together that same year was published by TMZ. She lost her job as a judge on Italy’s X Factor, and CNN pulled the episodes that featured her with Bourdain in his series Parts Unknown before he tragically took his own life. It was alleged she paid former child actor and musician Bennett a $380,000 hush money settlement after they allegedly had sex when he was just 17 and she was 37. Argento has since admitted the payout, which she said was made by her former boyfriend Bourdain, but denied she ever had sex with Bennett, claiming that the money was to help his career. Bennett was just 7 when he was cast to play the son of Argento's drug-addicted prostitute in the film, based on the popular novel by JT Leroy. Argento has a daughter Anna Lou Castoldi, 17, with singer Marco Castoldi and a 9-year-old son Nicola. Argento had been at the forefront of the #MeToo for almost a year after claiming she was assaulted by Weinstein at the1997 C
